GARMENT-CLASP OR HOSE-SUPPORTER- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 77 4,829, dated November 15, 1904.

Application filed January 2, 1904. Serial No. 187,500. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADoLrH H. Conn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Garment-Clasps or Hose-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to garment-clasps or hose-supporters; and it consists of certain novel parts and combinations of parts pointed out in the claims concluding this specification.

Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 illustrate details of my invention. Fig. 5 is'a sectional view show ing the various parts assembled. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a complete button. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the button and a loop attached to a piece of webbing.

The following is a description of the garment-clasp or hose-supporter shown in the drawings, which illustrate the formin which I at present prefer to embody my invention; but it will be understood that various modifications and changes may be made in the details of the same without departing from my invention and without exceeding the scope of the concluding claims.

A piece of webbing 1 or any other suitable material has secured to it a loop 2. This loop may be of any suitable type. several types being already well known in the market. Also secured to the said webbing is abutton or stud 3. The loop and button or stud cooperate to grasp and secure the garment or hose.

I will now proceed to describe in detail the form of the button or stud as shown in the drawings.

A is a post or rivet having a head *B and an end C of smaller diameter than the post A.

D is a collet having therein an opening E. This collet is cup-shaped, having upturned edges.

F is a piece of felt or any other suitable yielding material.

G is a hollow shank or sleeve, which I prefer to make slightly flared at the top and contracted at the bottom to fit in an opening in the. base-plate H, which is adapted to be secured to the webbing or other material.

The rivet, collet, sleeve, and base-plate are made preferably of metal.

The manner in which the various parts of the button are assembled may be stated as follows and may be seen in Fig. 5. The post or rivet A is passed through the opening E in the collet, the upturned edges of the collet being toward the head of the rivet. The piece of felt or other material is then slipped on the post or rivet beneath the collet. The felt is then turned up over the sides and into the cup of the collet. The head of the rivet is then pressed down to secure the material within the cup. The rivet may then be passed through the shank or sleeve G, the flared end of which is placed to engage with the flexible material and press it against the under side of the collet. The other ends of the shank or sleeve and the rivet are inserted in a hole in the base-plate H. The end C of the rivet extends through far enough to be hammered out and riveted to the under side of the bedplate, and thereby secure and firmly hold all of the parts together. The base-plate H is provided with slits I, through which the webbing 1 may be threaded.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is

1. In agarment-clasp, the combination with a loop, of a button the shank and top of head of which are composed of metal, a rigid material between the shank and top of said head and the edge of head being formed of yielding material laid over said rigid material.

2. In agarment-clasp, the combination with a loop, of a button, the shank and top of the head'of which are composed of metal, a metallic material between the shank and top of said head the edge of the head being formed of non-metallic material laid over said metallic material.

3. In agarmentclasp the combination with a loop, a button, comprising a rivet, a collet, asleeve, apiece of flexible material interposed between said sleeve and collet, said material being formed over said collet into the head of the button.

4. In agarment-clasp, the combination with a loop, a button, comprising a rivet, a collet, a sleeve, a piece of flexible material interposed between the collet and sleeve, said material being formed over said collet and secured between the collet and head of the rivet and thereby form the head of the button.

5. The combination in agarment-clasp, with a loop, a button comprising a rivet, a collet and a sleeve, a piece of flexible material inserted between the collet and sleeve and se cured between the collet and head of the rivet all of said parts being riveted to a base-plate.

6. The combination in a garment-clasp with a loop, a button comprising a rivet, a collet having upturned edgespa sleeve, a piece of flexible material interposed between the collet and sleeve and secured between the upturned edges of the collet and the head of the rivet, all of said parts being securely riveted to a base-plate.

7. The combination in a garment-clasp, with a loop, a button comprising a rivet having a head, a collet with upturned edges, a sleeve, said collet and sleeve fitting over the rivet, a piece of flexible material also fitting over the rivet and interposed between the collet and sleeve, the edges of said material being secured between the upturned edges of the collet and the head of the rivet, all of said parts being riveted to a bed-plate adapted to be fastened to a webbing.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ADOLPH H. COHN.
